Cardi B got the injections when she was 21. She paid $800 to have a woman inject her butt with fillers. Her boyfriend at the time had cheated on her with a woman who "had a fat, big ass." Her colleagues with bigger bums made more money stripping than she did.

"They don't numb your ass with anything. It was the craziest pain ever. I felt like I was gonna pass out. I felt a little dizzy. And it leaks for, like, five days. [She planned on going in for a touch-up] But by the time I was gonna go get it, the lady got locked up 'cause she's supposedly killed somebody. Well, somebody died on her table."

About being in a gang :"Sometimes it's almost like a fraternity, a sorority. Sometimes it's like that. And sometimes I see people that's in the same gang kill each other. So sometimes there is no loyalty. Sometimes you gotta do certain things to get higher, to get higher and higher. You're doing all of that and you not making money off of it. That's why I don't talk about it much. Because I wouldn't want a young person, a young girl, to think it's okay to join it."

the gq profile was...so weird. the way the writer was talking about her body and what she was eating was downright creepy, even though the writer was a woman. maybe a lot of profiles are like that, but i'm not into it.

i liked the part where she talked about how she loves to learn about US government and has all of the presidents memorized, lol.

"With the aid of cutting-edge Millennium science, in the form of orbicular breast implants and illegal buttocks injections, America's sudden favorite rapper, Cardi B, has built her body for optimal viewing at medium-to-long-distance range. This engineering foresight helps explain why, before she began making music history, she was not just a successful stripper but a wildly successful one. The hills and slopes of her body are so captivating that you might not even notice the delicate beauty of her countenance until it's staring at you head-on..."

I think food descriptions can tell a lot about celebrities (adult Justin Bieber ordering chicken fingers at a restaurant that didn't have chicken fingers on the menu confirmed that Bieber is exactly the person I thought he was) but in this case they didn't do much to help set the scene. It felt like the introduction hadn't been edited well.

i know a woman who does some community work to get kids out of gangs and she always tells the story about how she joined one for a sense of family since hers was abusive and tw:[Spoiler (click to open)] was repeatedly gang raped as part of her initiation.. that's not a place for women at all, so thanks @ cardi b for telling girls to stay tf away.

comparing her to azealia is ridiculous, azealia has said much worse things, way more often. cardi's seem like they were blown out of proportion, imo. she called people "cockroaches" but also calls herself a cockroach. she's half black which is why she uses the n-word. i don't really understand what else people think she's done that's ~sooo awful.

some people don't really have a choice. I know so many trans girls who get them here in Brazil. Some of them are as young as 16 and 17. Their only job option is prostitution and they need to have a certain body type to get clients. It's very sad.
